I Can’t Bite My Lip Any More

Over the years music has become more violent, mostly in rap, and rock and roll. Many of the outside critics believe that the violence in music has a lot to do with the increase in violence in society. The critics, as well as some of the parents believe that the producers of the violent material should be held responsible for the effects of the material that they produce. The thing that they should be concerned with most are the people committing the crimes instead of blaming the music.

In recent years, the rap industry has been blamed for a number of incidents involving violence. Many of the critics blame it on the so-called "GANGSTA RAP", because of the explicit lyrics in the music. An example of how the rap industry has been blamed is a rapper named Ice T. Who has once fallen under the gun of the critics, because of a song he wrote called "Cop Killa". Not too long after the song was released there were a number of incidents out in Los Angeles, where there were police officers being killed, and others who were almost killed.

Even the newest shocker on the scene, Eminem, released a song named ‘Stan’. Here a confused fan committed a crime because the artist had talked of similar actions. Stan, a dedicated fan to Eminem writes letters to him throughout the song. Each letter gets progressively worse, as Eminem never answers Stan’s letters. Eventually Stan kills himself and his girlfriend in a way that Eminem has rapped about numerous times. Eminem, being busy finally answers the letter, only to find out that a lunatic he read about was indeed Stan.
